3/ For the first time, the security of an on-ramp will not depend on a centralized company. Instead, our smart contracts will verify fiat P2P payments using zkSNARKs. Proof of payment enables fully decentralized access to crypto. Sign up for our Beta on .

5/ Our initial mainnet launch in early Q4 will support Venmo as a proof of concept. On-rampers can buy stablecoins through fiat and will immediately receive their funds in their self-custodial wallet. This will represent the first fully decentralized on-ramping experience.

2/ Since its inception, it has been impossible to buy and sell cryptocurrency without relying on a centralized company. Ethereum, a decentralized payment and application platform whose access is controlled by centralized institutions and governments, cannot be the end state.

6/ The core innovation powering Zephyr is “Proof of Payment”: a zero-knowledge succinct proof of signatures and regular expressions to ensure the payment confirmation is authentic and accurate.

Excited to announce that we'll be starting our trusted setup ceremony on Monday for our Venmo and CashApp circuits! This marks a key milestone for Zephyr and is the last key step before our mainnet launch. Reach out to us if you're interested in contributing!

7/ Our initial integration with Venmo will use DKIM email signatures on Venmo email confirmations to verify the payment went through. An overview of our protocol can be found here: .

8/ To protect our users and build a lasting solution, we screen wallet addresses and leverage the compliance processes used by your bank and payment platform. There is no custody risk—the protocol is permissionless once funds are deposited.

Shower thought: now that there’s no more mining on Ethereum, how does someone get their first ETH in a decentralized way? 👀

4/ We built Zephyr on the principle that Ethereum is a global censorship-resistant ecosystem whose access is shielded from the influence of corporations. We will continue to make proof of payment more robust and decentralized by integrating with many payment platforms globally.

@AndyGuzmanEth @NotebookLabs Hey, zkp2p's idea is similar but we've been building in stealth for many months now. We will open source our code post-audit but we don't use any of ZK-Email or zk-p2p's code. We built on top of Circomlib, 0xPARC's bigint_func library and some of Double-blind's RSA logic.

@gakonst This is what we’ve built and are getting audited. This model also benefits from multiple payment methods for censorship resistance and an on-chain orderbook to ensure two people don’t try to unlock the same funds. You will soon be able to onramp with far less trust assumptions.
